Happy Monday! There’s a lot going on in the cryptocurrency world from outright fraud, upcoming potential regulation, and big digital collectible news. Let’s dig in.

Your weekly update on Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) as he remains free:

Rippe, Michael 🎯 @MichaelRippe

FTX filed for bankruptcy on 11/11/22. SBF is still not in custody. Day 23.

and how this is becoming potentially the largest case of fraud in history?

Ram Ahluwalia, crypto CFA @ramahluwalia

1/ How do we explain FTX's $10 Bn in losses? Where did the $2 Bn in venture funds go? My working hypothesis is that FTX was a fraud even prior to recent events and as far back as 2021. #SBF will go down in history as a fraud larger than Bernie Madoff. 🧵

I don’t enjoy giving oxygen to an individual destroying an industry but the fallout is far from over. So we remain committed to keeping you informed.
